Google launched My Maps, a new feature in Google Maps that lets you mark some places on the map and annotate them. Essentially, it's an easy way to create a KML file from Google Maps (until now, the feature was available in Google Earth). To create a map:* Select one or more places from the map.* Draw lines and polygons to highlight paths and areas.* Add descriptions by typing HTML code or using a rich text editor.* More in this user guide.
